1. Its a spin off, with all that entails
2. It owns its own network
3. It owns the pulse network

No it's not the sound of the rotors on Ben Bernanke's magical money-dropping helicopter. It's not the sound of Hillary's chance of becoming the next President of the United States being flushed down the toilet either. That's the sound of millions o...

DFS has a lot going for it. It has declined steadily since its IPO, however for a company that is a spin off who is consolidating and developing itself there is a lot of long term potential. It seems to have it a resistance level so I hope to see a...

$18 per share in cash for a $20 stock. Cash minus short term debt still equals just over $11 per share in cash.

One of only 5 credit card companies. It makes money from finance charges plus it costs small business owners .25 each time it is swiped ...

Discover's stock has dropped steadily since it was issued at $30.50. With the credit market tightening they are going into a very unfavorable business environment. I have noticed that they are trying to raise payment levels and interest rates on most...

I think the biggest knock on this stock is that it started out as a spin off. Discover may not be as big as mastercard or visa but they can hold their own. Recently they've started to bump up their advertising in hopes to turn the big two into the bi...

I bought in too early but the longterm outlook on this stock is rosy. The closed-loop for payment processing, better credit quality and their brand loyalty are positive points. The closed-in loop also presents a nice takeover target in a couple of ye...

Discover is a small player in the credit card industry. To me, this means they have an opportunity to grow now that the anti-trust case against Visa and Mastercard has removed obstacles.

This is currently extremely undervalued. The price has dropped significantly over the fears of lower credit lenders. I think this has been over blown on a few vendors and one such is Discover. I will watch this for a few more weeks and I am seriou...
